Int'l Conference: Farm animal production diseases

The 14th International Conference on Production Diseases in Farm Animals (ICPD) will be held in Gent, Belgium, from 20-24 June, 2010.

Today, the definition of 'Production diseases' has expanded to include not only metabolic and nutritional diseases, but also diseases of an infectious and genetic nature. The common theme of all these diseases is their association with management and selection of animals for efficient agricultural production.
